Black, Blue

Intro 2x: B F#/Bb G#m E

B   F#/Bb     G#m     E
   Nobody will call
    B          F#/Bb     G#m           E
Not as long as I keep my phone off the line
    B          F#/Bb     G#m        E           B   F#/Bb    G#m   E
Not as long as I keep my voice down inside of my mouth
    B            F#/Bb     G#m      E
But it's getting harder to hide
        B                 F#/Bb           G#m         E
And the brightness of the colors makes it hard to describe
        B           F#/Bb   G#m           E
And the voices that seem to come from all sides
         B       F#/Bb    G#m   E
Makes it hard to decide

G#m      E       B       D       E
Black,   Blue,   Her,    You

B        F#/Bb     G#m    E
I know a woman who said
    B           F#/Bb    G#m           E
'Oh if I could only just turn back the clock
     B            F#/Bb        G#m            E
When I was still scared and my hair was still dark
       B          F#/Bb    G#m   E
And my hands were clean
    B          F#/Bb        G#m      E
But now all my choices are spent
        B             F#/Bb            G#m         E
And the men that I've known they don't know what I meant
     B      F#/Bb    G#m           E
And cupid's arrow is backwards and bent
          B          F#/Bb    G#m   E
When it's flying for me

G#m      E       B      D      G#m      E        B      D        E
Black,   Blue,   Her,   You,   White,   Green,   Him,   Me

B   F#/Bb      G#m    E
   Nobody will say
   B          F#/Bb  G#m        E
Oh what a fine young upstanding man
         B          F#/Bb       G#m     E
With his ducks in a row and his 50 year plan
   B             F#/Bb     G#m    E
Complete with an ending
    B            F#/Bb     G#m    E
But it's getting harder to see
        B            F#/Bb          G#m       E
And the time between daylight seems longer to me
        B       F#/Bb      G#m          E
And the person I am and the person I'll be
  B      F#/Bb   G#m   E
Refuse to meet

G#m      E       B      D      G#m      E        B      D        E
Black,   Blue,   Her,   You,   White,   Green,   Him,   Me
